This paper proposes a decentralized hierarchical multi-rate control scheme for large-scale dynamically-coupled linear systems subject to linear constraints on input and state variables. At the lower level, a set of decentralized and independent linear controllers stabilizes the process, without taking care of the constraints. Each controller receives reference signals from its own upper-level c...

Joint synchronization and calibration of multi-channel transform-domain charge sampling receivers (May 2009) Pradeep Kotte Prakasam Chair of Advisory Committee: Sebastian Hoyos Transform-domain (TD) sampling is seen as a potential candidate for wideband and ultra-wideband high-performance receivers and is investigated in detail in this research. TD receivers expand the signal over a set of basi...

As a generalized form of multi-class classification, multilabel classification allows each sample to be associated with multiple labels. This task becomes challenging when the number of labels bulks up, which demands a high efficiency. Many approaches have been proposed to address this problem, among which one of the main ideas is to select a subset of labels which can approximately span the or...

The parameters design of 1-bit adaptive delta modulations (ADM) systems with uniform sampling rate is well known. Analytical study of delta modulations with sampling rate adaptation have been carried out few years ago. The described ADM systems encode the input signal by changing the sampling intervals and/or step size according to its time-varying slope characteristics. A proposition for desig...
